FRIDAY COCKTAIL - LOUISE'S FAVORITE RUM RUNNER!

For Louise this weekend! Story goes that the Rum Runner was invented in the 1950's at the Holiday Isle Tiki Bar in Islamorada, FL..one of the Keys. Seemed the bar had an excess of rum and needed a new fruity drink to entice guests to drink the rum.

Ingredients:

1 oz orange juice

1 oz pineapple juice

1 oz blackberry liqueur

1 oz banana liqueur

1 oz light rum

1 oz dark rum

dash of grenadine

ice

garnish 151 floater, pineapple and orange

Pour 2 cups of ice and all the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth and pour in a hurricane glass. Garnish with pineapple, umbrellas, oranges...or add a 151 floater on top!!!
